Retinitis Pigmentosa

A group of eye problems that affect the retina, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare group of hereditary diseases that causes the photoreceptors in the retina to gradually degenerate.

People with retinitis pigmentosa lose their vision slowly over time, as it changes how the retina responds to light, making it hard to see.

The type and speed of vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa varies from person to person – it depends on their form of the condition.
